MADAME RIVE KING.

Madame Rive-King's playing of the
Concerto was so spirited, sure and delicate
that her reputation must be greatly in
creased, when it is known that she per-
formed it literally without rehearsal. On
Thursday afternoon it was not settled who
should take Mr.. Joseffy's place, who was
suddenly incapacitated. On Friday af
ternoon Madame King played the work
in public. The technical difficulties of
the piano-forte she had of course long
previously conquered, but that is but a
foundation for such difficulties, as the
joint Interpretation of the very catchy
score, that the public performance was a
real tov-de.f force for Madame Rive-King
and for Mr.. Thomas also.-New York
Tribune.

Premeditated and Novel Suicide.

Charles Eldred, unmarried, aged %
years committed suicide ia most novel
way at Lowell last Sunday morning. He
had been rather respondent and melan-
choly of late and arose at the usual time
Sunday morning, and after eating bis
ibreak fast he left the house. informing
his mother it would be the last time she
would see him alive. The mother called
the attention of his father to the remark.
but be having heard him make the same
remark on other occasions, did not heed
it. Leaving the house, the son procee ded
to the residence of August Schindel, half
a mile distant, where he obtained the
keys of the blacksmith shop formerly oc
cupied by his father, and still owned by
him, but rented by Mr. s'chindel. En-
tering the shop. he arranged file in the
wise and then cody proceeded to loac his
gun, after which be placed the ring of
the trigger on the file. He next placed
the barrel of the weapon close TO his
head, and deliberately drawing the gun
against the file it was discharged, blowing
off the top of his head and part of one
side of the face. His mother. who had
seen him go to the shop, followed him,
and had almost reached the building
when she heard the report of the gun.
She was the first upon the scene, and her
anguish when seeing the bleeding and
maEsled form of her son on the floor, can
be more easily imagined than described
The weapon used was single barreled
shotgun which belonged to himself The
deceased was quite popularity known as
the manager of the "Lowell Scraps" an
amateur company.
No inquest was held, it not being
deemed necessary. Softening of the brain
is supposed to have caused the rash act.
The funeral of the deceased was held
from his late home yesterday afternoon.

THE LADIES' CHORUS CONCERT.

anything more than a mere mention OF
the Ladies' Chorus Concert, at Turner
Hall, on the evening of December 2Sth
To all lovers of good music that were
present, it will be hardly necessary to
call attention to the generally excellent
manner in which the choruses were rem
dered, and the beautiful blending Of true
harmony making up true picture of
more than usual charm Memberships
CANCEL Trio" and the cave Maria"
which respectively begun and closed the
concert, with the intervening choruses,
gave evidence by their precision and
sweetness of good, faithful training and
well sustained vocaization. rejecting
alike credit on the participants and their
able conductor. The soprano, Miss Anna
Gussmann, of Madison, who on this oc.
casion made her debut here, at once
found permanent place in the estima-
ton of her audience, her personal pres
ence contributing no less than her adj
mirable singing, in winning the favorable
impression that she made at every ap
pearance. In her rendition of Abts song
of Spring" and also her other numbers,
she evinced rare taste and culture, dis
closing voice of pure lyric richness, with
delicious quality that no amount Of
study can acquire, but which, when
assisted by culture, makes all there
is in the achievement. of art possible.
1t is voice, which at first seems not
so powerful, but nanifestly conceals a
balance of ieseryed power. We do not
mistake the sentiment OF our people,
when we say the disappearance of Miss
Gussmann here Is generally desired and
will be looked forward to with great
pleasure.
The Fisherman" duet was number
well rendered by Mrs. w. w. Jones, of
Madison, in which her deep contralto
voice was finely developed.
Joan of Arc" was sung by Miss Ella
Blair in very creditable manner, al
though to our mind this young lady has
appeared to much better on former oc-
casiou.
Willie Sproesser rendered effectively
Beethoven's Sonata No l. The amount
Of confidence. technical ability and mus
ical appreciation, speak well for this
young virtuosa.
Miss Lizzie Ruesch sang the "Grand
Aria" from "Oberon Tosay that she did
not merit the applause, which was hers
at the conclusion of her performance,
would be to ignore the circumstances en-
tirely. She did nobly, aye. bravely, and
demonstrated what courage and deter
mination accomplish in the face OF diff
cuties. 80
,.Gambellin's beautiful duet of "Evening
Dreams was rendered by Mrs.E Brandt
and G S. Hawley in a manner that
elected considerable applause.
Mrs. Jones' singing OF "Elsa's Dream, y
was most truthfully given and received
with favor. Altogether this concert was
a pleasant and satisfactory performance,
aud it will be- remembered by all who
listened to it as among the important
musical events OF the season just closed.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon Mr. Hawley for his energy in Civ
ing the public an opportunity of hearing
such really good musical work. Such
efforts should be better supported than
they are usually in this community.
